Full-stack newspaper website

I’ve built the web site universitas.no. This is a full stack
project, so I’ve done the graphic design, the frontend react.js app, the backend
Django application and managed the servers, deployment pipeline, testing, user
support and a lot more.

All the code is open sourced under the Apache licence, and available at
GitHub

This is a project that has grown a lot in scope as I have been working on it. I
started by creating a Django site to replace a legacy and hard-to-maintain php
site. In addition the coding, a big part of the initial process mas migrating,
organize and clean up many years of text and photo content.

In the first version of the site I used the django template engine and the Zurbs
Foundation css framework for the frontend styling.

I later replaced all of the front end code with a new site with a frontend
written entirely with react.js. The core of the application is still Django, but
it’s not used for template rendering, which is done with react.js instead.
